Details of the Attack on Disha Patani’s Bareilly Home

The incident unfolded in the early hours of September 12, around 3:30 am, when two assailants on a motorcycle unleashed gunfire outside Disha Patani’s family home in Bareilly.

Subsequently, a social media post linked to associates of gangster Goldy Brar took credit for the assault. The post was taken down by the morning of September 13, and the account was deactivated by evening.

The circulating post on social media claimed the shooting was in response to alleged “insulting” remarks directed at spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. It described the act as “just a trailer” and threatened more attacks to come.

In the aftermath, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reached out to Disha Patani’s father, Jagdish Singh Patani a retired deputy superintendent of police and promised enhanced security measures for the family. Jagdish Patani recounted that the attackers discharged approximately 10 to 15 rounds rapidly.

“At around 3 in the morning, I woke up to the sound of dogs barking. I saw the attackers firing at our house. The pistol they used was foreign-made. Once the trigger was pressed, 10-15 rounds fired in quick succession. We were extremely scared and immediately informed the police,” he explained.
